Some of the second line anti tuberculosis drugs can cause psychosis,as the patient needs to continue medication better to be shown to a psychiatrist after consulting the treating pulmonologist.

As you might be already aware that MDR TB second line drugs are itself reserved drugs,and by anticipating side effects you have to continue the same for a longer duration say 18 to 24 months.you have to monitor with Kidney function,Thyroid functions,and liver function every monthly which you might be doing.Else you have to consult your treating Chest Physician who will better advise you.
